When
nineteen year-old Lili McIntyre decides to trade her California
summer for a mid-winter visit to Australia, it’s in hope of finding
inspiration and direction in the country where her father was born.

But
when she arrives in Melbourne, the first thing she finds is the last
thing she’s looking for—a brooding man who makes her heart race
every time she sees him.

Against
her better judgement, Lili finds herself drawn into a relationship
that tests her very beliefs about life, reality and fantasy. But the
real test is how to follow her destiny as she faces some of the
hardest decisions of her life.

Using
a modern theme, the author tells an old fashioned love story that you
won’t want to put down, even when you’ve finished the last page.

Like
that time I was running to visit my friend who lived down the street.
I was only about ten at the time, but it seemed like it was
yesterday. I remember exactly how it felt as I ran down that street
toward her house. And how, when I was only part way there, I stepped
on an acorn and my foot rolled out from under me. As I fell, the
pavement got closer and closer to my face—in horrible slow-motion.
I hit the ground with my hands stretched out in front of me, scraping
the skin off both palms. They barely bled but man they hurt like
crazy.

Yes,
I could replay that memory like a slow-motion movie in my head even
now—years later.

But
this … well, this wasn’t like that.

What
happened next was like a series of still photos. Tom flew out of the
bedroom in a blur, but stopped just long enough for the image of his
face to be burnt into my mind. His eyes were no longer soft brown,
but were instead a glowing red, and his normally tanned complexion
was now pallid grey. But what really stood out was the blood that ran
down from the corner of his mouth.

Then
I heard Sam’s voice—loud and harsh. ‘Go!’

Tom
was gone and I heard the door slam.

I
closed my eyes for no more than a long blink—it couldn’t have
been more than a second—but when I opened them, Sam was in the
bedroom, bending over Claire. Was he doing something to her neck? She
was so still.

I
ran to the doorway but stopped short of going in. I couldn’t draw a
breath to scream or talk. I just stood there, frozen.
